二、阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项
A
Experts estimate that one out of every five fish sold was caught illegally. It threatens(威胁) food security and hurts the environment. Officials are using new observational technology to fight illegal fishing.
“Thank you for taking the time to join us here in Harwell (UK) in the Operations Center to what we call ‘Project Eyes on the Seas.’” says Tony Long, who leads the Ending Illegal Fishing program for Pew Charitable Trusts. The group created Project Eyes on the Seas. Large three-dimensional images of a globe can be seen on a video.
“It looks different from what you might expect because this globe only shows you the boats that are coming into this system from a live automated information system or AIS.”
The screen shows 120,000 fishing boats have AIS. They are required to have the technology. But those who are fishing illegally often turn it off. The technology does not tell observers when that happens. Project Eyes on the Seas combines satellite information with secret government records on every ship’s past activities.
Mr. Long says that permits researchers to understand exactly where the fishing boats are operating. The Pew team gives the information it gathers to port officials to help them decide if they should take action against a ship. Tony Long says he would like to be able to provide port officials all over the world with clear lists. They would inform the officials about ships to inspect, ships to bar from entrance, and ships to permit entrance for trade activities.
The Pacific island nation of Palau was an early user of the technology. Palau has one of the richest fishing areas in the world. Last year, it announced a plan to ban commercial fishing in a 630,000 square kilometer area. K.B. Sakuma is a special adviser to the president of Palau. He says Palau is trying to deal with a recent increase in illegal, unsupervised（无人监管的）and unreported fishing.
“And it’s come to a head in the last year or two. From our southern island in the evening you can see on the horizon just dotted lights of these illegal fishermen that come into our waters, fill their ships with our fish, our resources, our food security...”
21.According to the estimation, what is the percentage of illegal fishing?
A. 1%
B. 5%
C. 23.5%
D.20%
22.The information is collected by the Pew team so as to ________.
A. leave written records for the country only
B. help fishermen to catch more fish on the Seas
C. prevent all of the fishing practices on the Seas
D. assist port officials in deciding whether to ban a ship from fishing
23.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The clear lists.
B. The investigators.
C. The fishing boats.
D. The Project Eyes.
B
In the hills outside Missoula, Montana, wildlife biologists are looking at how climate change affects something very small: the snowshoe hare.
Life for snowshoe hares is pretty stressful-almost everything in the forest wants to eat them.
Alex Kumar, a graduate student at the University of Montana, lists the animals that are hungry for hares. “Lynx(山猫), foxes, coyotes(土狼),[… even] red squirrels(松鼠).”
Kumar and field technician Tucker Seitz spend months searching these woods for hares, often listening for signals from hares they’ve already put radio collars(项圈) on.
They catch other hares with wire traps(陷阱) about the size of a breadbox, with some apples as bait(诱饵). Most of the hares they track live less than a year—a hazard(风险) of being what Kumar calls “the cheeseburger of the ecosystem.”
But snowshoe hares have a special skill: camouflage. They’re brown during the summer, but turn white for the snowy winter months.
“There’re times when you’re tracking them and you know they’re really, really close, and you just can’t find them,” he says.
Hares switch color in the spring and fall in response to light, when the days get longer or shorter. But if the snow comes late, you get a white hare on brown ground.
“And they really think that they’re camouflaged, ” Kumar says. “They act like we can’t see them.”
Kumar calls this “mismatching”, and it’s becoming more of a concern with climate change.
“If the hares are consistently molting(脱毛)at the same time, year after year, and the snowfall comes later and melts earlier, there’s going to be more and more times when hares are mismatched,” he says.
Scott Mills of North Carolina State University leads the research. He says they’re finding that mismatched hares die at higher rates. That’s a concern for the threatened Canada lynx, which mainly eats these hares.
“It’s a very clear connection to a single climate change stressor,” Mills says.
Hares might be able to adapt over time. Some snowshoe hares in Washington State don’t turn white at all. Mills is trying to figure out whether hares and other wildlife can adapt as fast as the climate is changing.
“But how fast is too fast?” he asks.
24.Alex Kumar and his classmates catch snowshoe hares in order to find out
.
A. the hares’ natural enemies
B. the influence of climate change on the hares’ lives
C. why the hares change fur colors regularly
D. how the ecosystem in the woods works
25.The word “camouflage” (Paragraph 6) is closest in meaning to
.
A. hiding
B. escaping
C. fighting
D. scaring
26.According to the passage, snowshoe hares can now be easily discovered by their enemies because they
.
A. change their fur color to white too late
B. haven’t adapted to climate change
C. can no longer adapt to the change of light in spring and fall
D. find it more and more difficult to molt at the same time each year
27.Which best describes Mills’ tone in the passage?
A. Approving.
B. Concerned.
C. Enthusiastic.
D. Doubtful.

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice. “Mom, come here! There’s a lady here my size!” The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize. I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then talked to the boy, “Hi, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?” He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?” “Yes, I have a son,” I answered. “Why are you so little?” he asked. “It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand and left.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
